Towing to the airport
I'm looking to tow my plane to the airport. I've seen aircraft towed
on their own wheels. I called the local police department and they said I had to use a trailer. Does anyone know the "road rules" for towing aircraft to the airport? I tried googling for federal or state (Maine) regulations and basically came up empty. Anyone know the answer or can help? -Bruce |

Seems like 1 mile at 4AM on a Sunday would not need much more than a
light... denny |

Towing to the airport
... in Conneticut... Seems they don't allow trailers to have their own propulsion
system. YMMV. Wonder if you could argue that the "propulsion system" has no transmission to or is not in any way connected to the wheels, as I would think that's the intent of the law... to prevent such a transmission from in any way interfering with the towing vehicle's use of its own power, as in loss of sync btwn a powered trailer becoming something that pushes a towing vehicle or an inadvertent engaging of a transmission, locking up the trailer's wheels, etc. Dean A.

I wonder how they'd view that? Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

The Dyke Delta is designed to be towed on it's own wheels. One of the builders, lives in Conneticut, had problems getting it registered as a trailer. Seems they don't allow trailers to have their own propulsion system. YMMV. "That?? Sir, that is my ceiling fan. It *is* Summer, after all!" Rich S. |
